[edit] Technical data

The scenery is dominated by two steel lattice towers, 135 metres high and situated close to the beach, thus providing optimal earthing characteristics, something which is necessary for a good coverage on these frequencies. The transmitter has a feeded effect (PEP) of 600 kW and a radiating effect of 2000kW (ERP). The antenna has optimal directional characteristics in 70 and 270 degrees.
